The bagging areas for self checkout are what get me. They're so incredibly tiny, but it insists on me balancing everything on the stupid scale. These days my wife just orders online. Go to the grocery store, some employee brings out your food and puts it in your trunk. Done.

People at the time of great agricultural change could have said the same thing. I doubt you think that the only things that are possible are the things we can dream up while chatting on this forum. That's the thing about the economy - nobody could piece it together. That's one reason why...

Republicans can (and should) use the nuclear option to remove filibuster issues. They refuse, and McConnell is an idiot for doing so. Oh look, a Republican is the one stopping Republicans. Dems can't "stifle" votes, that's ridiculous. Of course they lie. Congressional Dems are the skeeziest...

It's a jab at Republicans that pretend to be for smaller government...until they're in charge. There is absolutely nothing stopping the Republicans from enacting major reforms that shrink government. Instead, they can't even bring themselves to get rid of the piece of legislation they've...

Because legislators don't do enforcement, but need to act like they're doing something to get voters. 90% of what they get up to boils down to getting reelected.

Don't worry, [H] is here for you.

I'm also in the tab whore crowd. Some of you need more work to do I guess. ;) I routinely have to research multiple issues for multiple projects daily. There's usually a dozen tabs per topic. Plus I spend time doing research on a variety of topics of hobby interest. Invariably I get interrupted...

That's exactly where I'm at. I have a lot of machines at home, and time spent making them work is time I could spend doing something else or logging billable hours. No Win10 because I have no confidence that it won't be a recurring maintenance headache.

I'm saying your complaints about S&P's bond rating practices are a complete nonsequiter and nonsensical in the context of the post you were replying to. You don't even have to do business with S&P to invest in the S&P 500. Hence, I say you're just complaining about financial stuff you don't...

You don't even know what you're complaining about. The S&P is the S&P 500.

They are comparing products, not specs. "Why buy X when Y gets the job done better for less money?" is a valid comparison. Your answer may be "I desperately need ECC", and that's also valid, but most people don't need that for doing photoshop crap. Just the other day I was browsing [H] and saw...

That's if they don't leave.

I own a small software development company. We do not care one bit about degrees when hiring (and never have). I don't know anyone in my network who does, either. It's always just "show me what you've done and convince me you'll provide more value than the pay you demand." These are mostly...

All of the big groceries here already do it as well.

lol it would be like a log ride at an amusement park.

Oh look, more silly doomsday prophecies. They could at least attempt to use realistic time periods. Whole sectors of the economy are just barely using software effectively after how many years? And I'm supposed to believe that mission-specific hardware will be developed, tested, and adopted for...

In addition, most of the news is that they do massive dragnets/mass infections of US persons, not that they spy at all.

In software development a lead X is usually doing dev work, teaching/guiding others, making important architectural decision and technology selections, etc.

Mozilla did this years ago with mozjpeg....

Awesome, more cpus to not have motherboards for!

Where do I find this coupon?

If you bothered to do even a cursory Google search on Luddites you would already know you're wrong. Let's see, here's what you said ISN'T Luddism.... And here's the Smithsonian talking to Kevin Binfield, Luddite historian and author of a very excellent compilation book of contemporary writings...

You describe Luddism precisely in the first sentence, then say in the second nobody wants a return to it? :confused: Luddites didn't break people's stuff because they hated technology, they broke it because they were protesting. They were concerned about automation putting people out of work...

Assuming this thread is representative (which is a big assumption), I find it hilarious that a tech forum like [H] is filled to the brim with Luddites.

So true. My company is working on a large healthcare quality/safety predictive analytics project so we talk to a lot of healthcare tech companies. Every other one is marketeers going "machine learning! AI!" and they all wilt when questioned. I think 3 companies in all of healthcare actually do...

What do you want them to do, recommend that their readers buy a product based on their hopes and dreams for future products? That would be a terrible review.

Hey [H], I'm looking for a way to display engineering prints at their full size (36"x60") with enough detail to be used in working meetings, which means people will be close to the screen. I'm not convinced that 1080p is enough for this, so I'm trying to find displays with a higher resolution...

Impact physics for large craters. The crust rebounds after being compressed, and the rebound causes central uplift.

It happens: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2006/13jun_lunarsporadic/

Yes. AQ, I'll PM you the info.

Awesome, I found one. Paid out the nose for it but, for me anyway, it'll pay itself off shortly.

The defect doesn't affect me so I don't care about it, but to answer your question I need an increase in available computing power for timely turnaround in fine element analysis work. As you might imagine, customers don't care about motherboard recalls, they care about results - so having this...

Does anyone know of a store that will sell me a P67 board right now? I'm looking for a P8P67 Pro or higher or an ASRock Extreme 4. I don't care about the SATA issue and am willing to void any RMA rights over it if that's possible. I really, really need to get this machine built and can't...

I'm on the hunt for a multipurpose laptop. I currently have an old Dell Inspiron that badly needs to become my wife's "web browsing while watching TV on the couch" laptop and not much else. Here are the specifics of my situation: 90% of the time it will do web browsing, office stuff...
